Bosko came through and sent me an image of the napkin, which as I expected clears up any right or wrong assumptions. It is obvious, by the amount of female nudity alone, that we have a Bowers here. The crude features of the Beachcomber on the left match his style also:

Further obvious is the fact that there WAS a Beachcomber Bar in the Ensenada Riviera also. I seems that the Bowers mural posted by Tom above might be in the former Emperador Cocktail Lounge or dining room. Now the Beachcomber mural must have been a sight to behold ! - yet, because of the amount of nudity in it, I fear the worst for its chances of survival in a social, civic and cultural center. But who knows, maybe political correctness is less pronounced in a Mexican resort town, still.

If we only had Senor Alfredo Derek's e-mail address, we could send him an image of the napkin and ask him if the mural still exists. But even if it doesn't, maybe Tiki Vato can find its original location and see if it was painted over...
